Last year the Asus ROG Phone 5 snapped like a twig when it was subjected to the now classic bend test performed by the YouTube channel JerryRig Everything. So, ever since the introduction of the ROG Phone 6 Pro in July, you may have wondered how the new phone could fare if subjected to the same kind of torture.
Apparently, you are lucky. In a rather simple case of “better late than never”, Zack’s JerryRig Everything only today has ROG Phone 6 Pro arrived. If you’re eager to find out if the device survived, grab some popcorn and your favorite drink and hit Play below.
It all starts pretty standard, with Gorilla Glass Victus on the front scratching at level 6 on the Mohs scale, with deeper grooves at level 7. So it’s confirmed that the sides are made of aluminum and interestingly enough the buttons are removable. The bump of the camera is covered with glass and the AMOLED screen lasts about 30 seconds under a lighter flame before the area turns black and never recovers.
The bend test is catastrophic, however. Another ROG phone breaks in half and very easily from the first try. Interestingly, the screen doesn’t break (maybe it’s the Gorilla Glass Victus at work), even though it’s bent to the point of being unusable. The rear is just ruined, though.
